Few like him ever lived. Not brilliant, yet his life was a distinguished success. A poor bound boy, he won the respect and confidence of all who new him, endowed with character and courage, without a penny, he acquired a competence for himself and family, educating al lhis children, one a graduate of Wake Forest collge, and a promising young Baptist minister. He left them in comfortable circumstances. He completely and roundly filled every relation of life, husband, father, friend, soldier and citizen. Rather than inflict a wrong, he would suffer wrong, never, in his long life, having had a lawsuit or dispute with his neighbor. Modest and retiring in disposition, but brave and courageous in duty. He leaves bheind him a shining record and a distinguished example for the instruction and emulation of those who come after him. 10. Obituary: Union Republican: Died.
